Abstract

Respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea, coughing, bronchorrhea, hemoptysis and death rattle are a common problem in palliative medicine. Their prevalence increases markedly in terminal phase oncological patients. In such cases, new therapeutic methods with lower toxicity and well documented efficiency in the control of respiratory syndrome should be considered.
